MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL...
When IKEA discovered that nearly half of Brits surveyed by them didn’t receive a single compliment during the week and that a third of the UK population thinks it looks its worst before 9 a.m. on Monday mornings, the Swedish furniture giant decided to do something about it.
Faster than you can say "Mirror, Mirror..." the company's UK unit developed a talking mirror that (thanks to digital technology) compliments customers walking by with pick-up lines such as “Have you been working out?” and “Your eyes are wonderful.” or “You look fabulous today.” While the words are spoken, they are written across the mirror as well. The effect on customers was immediate and amusing.
“We all know how that first look in the bathroom or bedroom mirror can determine whether we have a good or bad day,” said Myriam Ruffo in a press release about why IKEA is reinventing the mirror. “That’s why we thought—wouldn’t it be great if the mirror actually told you something positive for a change? It’s often the small things that make the biggest difference.” Indeed. The mirror is currently being tested in one location in the UK but it seems likely that its voice will soon be heard in other locations.
